Proportioning shapes and aligning them (specifically hexagons)

Hello, I am having a really hard time figuring this out, so I figure I'd come here. I am trying to create a striped outline around a design and I can't seem to do it. I'm doing the white stripes (which is what I'm troubled with) in the shape of a hexagon around the hexagon design in the middle. I can't resize each hexagon so that when i align them vertically and horizontally there is the same space between all of them. any help is appreciated. thanks
here is a picture of what i'm working on...

amnv,
To add new strokes, in the Appearance palette flyout (top right arrow) tick Add New Stroke, then make sure you have it selected in the main Appearance palette when you change it.
For stroke/nofill hexagonal paths, you can also use Object>Path>Offset Path setting the Offset to equal the sum of the (new) Stroke Weight and the desired gap. For identical Stroke weights and gaps you can just repeat it.
However, it seems that your hexagon shapes are fill/nostroke compound paths forming rings of increasing size, and none of the suggested ways would work with that.
It is much easier to work with stroke/nofill paths, unless you wish to have scaled shapes, with increasing gaps and thicknesses.
You can scale either; for stroke/no fill paths you need to tick Scale Strokes & Effects, which you can do in the Transform palette flyout.
If you wish to have hexagons of different widths but with identical gaps, as keenly spotted by Emil, for a stroke/nofill version you may also:
1) Create the innermost hexagon,
2) Scale a copy to get the outermost hexagon and adjust its Stroke Weight if needed,
3) Object>Blend>Options, set the number of intermediate hexagons,
4) Select both and Object>Blend>Make, you may need to go back and adjust the size of 2),
5) Object>Blend>Expand,
6) Align>Distribute Spacing.

Live paint vs. just selecting shapes and filling them

I traced an image in cs5 and am not quite sure what the benefit of using live paint to fill shapes with color with the live paint bucket over selecting the shapes and filling them the traditional way. Besides being able to fill shapes with gaps, what is the benefit of live paint?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
not quite sure what the benefit of using live paint
The benefit of a "flood fill" tool in a vector program is that it can be used to create filled paths corresponding to shapes which only appear to be defined, but are not actually otherwise fillable paths.
For example: Get the Line Tool. Draw four paths in the form of a tic-tac-toe diagram. Now suppose you want to fill that middle "square" with a color.
But there is no actual square to which you can apply a fill. There exists only four open paths. The "square" is just the visual bounds of the intersections of the four open paths. A flood fill tool creates the necessary path and applies a fill to it.
Illustrator's specific flood-fill tool is the so-called Live Paint feature. It's called "live" because it is implemented as a "live effect." That is, the paths it creates automatically are not "nailed down" until the effect is "expanded." That is, the effect gets automatically re-run and re-drawn each time you modify the path(s) to which it is applied. That's why the program has to mark the set of associated paths as a special kind of object that exists just for the benefit of the feature: A "Live Paint Group."

Is there a way of aligning the images in iweb photoalbums other than have them be a square?I have them at same height and resolution but htere is a default that shrinks them and aligns them at the bottom.Thanks.

Is there a way of aligning the images in iweb photoalbums other than have them be a square?I have them at same height and resolution but htere is a default that shrinks them and aligns them at the bottom.Thanks.

So how did you do it?
by understand what iweb widgets do, in this case setting gridEntry widget's scalMode preference from fill to fit.
then reset the displayed image, so it fits in the display area even if it's portrait aspect.
however, i found some glitches in gridEntry widget that's quite strange... but all fix-able.
perhaps, iweb experts (whose had poked at my example) here can chime in.

Iterate shapes and convert them to Compound Shapes

In order to keep shapes as shape layers in Photoshop when exporting from .ai to .psd, one has to convert all shapes to Compound Shapes.
At the moment, i'm using an action that converts the shape, then selects the shape above. Starting with the bottom shape, i have to click
the action for every shape.
Is there a way to make a script cycle through all shapes and groups, converting them to Compound Shapes?
At the end of the script, it would be nice to have it make an export of the file to .psd aswell.
I'm somewhat familiar to javascript, but i would really appreciate some guidelines in creating this.

It okay is, because this will be great learning for our minds! There is a way, to have your Extendscript execute the AHK script which tells it to "send" the F-keys as if it came from your keyboard. The action will go, but I am not very clear on how out of synch the action will be with the script. At first thought , putting $.sleep() may do the trick, especially if your action does not take long & there's not a big chance of it having to take long. Well, anywho, after the time break, it will go do its script thing, which is select the next shape or group (pageItem). And at the end, hey, you can try tacking on the PSD saving using the export with ExportOptionsPhotoshop- but that's later! Qwertyfly... has some examples here of executing an AHK script from the jsx script, check 'em out!

Creating shapes and adding them to canvas

hi all
How can we create shapes in flex..add them into a canvas i found code that used sprite but was unable to add .as it not being a uicomponent?

You need to wrap your sprite in a UIComponent. Accessing rawChildren can be dangerous.
var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
mySprite.graphics.beginFill(0xFFCC00);
mySprite.graphics.drawCircle(30, 30, 30);
var uic:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
uic.addChild(mySprite);
this.addChild(uic);

Total newbie i have drawn some shapes and want to colour them

Hi i have drawn some basic shapes and want to colour them i have watched a tutorial but must be doing something wrong. I highlight the shap with my selection tool then click on the fill button, choose a colour then click ok and nothing happens, what am i doing wrong?

Why not start here:

Can Adobe read specific text from Excel and merge them together?

I have a catalog in PDF format with thousands of part numbers. I want to be able to click on each part number and be directed to a specific web page. All web pages will be different. I know how to do this ONE at a time but that would be too time consuming and not something my company would be willing to do. I have an Excel spreadsheet with the part numbers listed in one column and the URL's in one and a column of them as hyperlinks already. Is it possible for Adobe to match the part numbers from both files and merge them together?
Thanks!
Amanda

The part numbers will all be together but most have alot of dashes and some are very long. Here are 3 examples. Alot of them are this size, some much larger but they are all together on one line.
CV-LED-W
SDOP-LED-2M
SIF-232
Thanks,

Export 2 specific folders from users A mailbox and transfer them to user B Via Powershell

Hi
i know there is a simpler method for the user to export the folder within outlook as a PST file and send it to the other user to import... but
Is there a powershell command sequence i can use that will export folders from User A mailbox and import them into User B's mailbox remotely so they don't have to do anything.
Many Thanks
Gordon

i made some progress with the following
New-MailboxExportRequest -mailbox "User A" -includeFolders "User A\\TransferFolder" -Filepath \\server\serversubfolder\transfer.pst -verbose
then using
New-MailboxImportRequest -mailbox "User B" -FilePath \\server\serversubfolder\transfer.pst -TargetRootFolder "Inbox" -includefolder "Transferfolder" -verbose

Hi kglad,
The problem was coming from my server.
I recently played with some settings from a "cache control tool" offered by my hosting but i thought i had it back at default. Turns out i must've missed something. Now i have the .html caching on and everything works good on all browser.
I have another question tho...
I'd like to know if there's a way to cache an html file without having to ask my hoster to cache all of my htmls...
I'm using this code now but maybe there's a way to add something that will cache this page specifically?

How to implement BINDING between drawing shapes and properties?

See this background info:
Can we have BINDING between drawing shapes and properties?
This needs more specific info. My application reads a number of XML files, and places the data in an Excel worksheet. Let's say that there are 20 XML files, the app creates 20 lower tabs (spreadsheets) named: "Item 1", "Item 2", ...,
"Item 20".
That is the current version. I am told by the users, however, that in some cases there are some XML files which create more than 1 Excel lower tab. For example, the file: "Items 8-11.xml" needs to fill tabs 8, 9, 10 and 11.
In that particular case the user will modify the default map (a 45-degree diagonal, equivalent to the
identity function F(x) = x), by clicking around. The resulting new map will look as follows:
Since the number of XML files does not change, the number of rows is constant. However, each time a black square is moved from its canonical (45-degree) location, a spreadsheet becomes "orphan" and therefore the application must create a new Excel
lower tab (which is a grid column). IOW: The number of columns keeps on growing to the right.
List<Model>
I figure that (as opposed to DataGrids which grow and shrink vertically, which each Model being 1 row) this thing should use the column as fundamental Model.
Before running the main app (the XML file reading procedures), the user will select a menu item named "Configure XML to Excel Mapping" and an interface similar to the image above will be shown.
In addition to the property binding, which has been discussed, how should I implement the drawing and erasing of black and white squares? I guess I will need some sort of "ConvertTo" bidirectional bridge from/to boolean and square drawing?

You lost me with the xml file and the tab and the wossname to the thingummybob.
I don't follow the explanation, sorry.
The way to show stuff like that isn't dependent on how the data is stored where though.
I probably wouldn't draw them, as such.
I'd probably just make each a usercontrol which bound the fill brush of a rectangle for the black white bit and used a border for the outline.
To simplify that:
<Grid> <Border>
<Rectangle Fill={Binding FillBrush}"/>
</Border>
</Grid>
FillBrush
Would be a public property solidcolorbrush exposed from your cellvm
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Media;
using GalaSoft.MvvmLight;
namespace wpf3
public class CellVM : ViewModelBase
private SolidColorBrush fillBrush;
public SolidColorBrush FillBrush
get { return fillBrush; }
set
fillBrush = value;
RaisePropertyChanged();
You can then have some logic somewhere which tells that viewmodel to show black or white fill. Which would be that converter bridge thingy equivalent. This thing is true then FillBrush = whiteBrush else FillBrush = blackBrush.
You could probably do it with just rectangle, lose the border and set the Stroke on the rectangle.
The stroke is the outside line round a rectangle ( or any shape).
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.shapes.shape.stroke(v=vs.110).aspx
And you would of course do other stuff like sizing the usercontrol and arranging an list in a list as I explained in your other thread.
Oh.................
But to answer the question in the title.
Yes you can bind all sorts of things including the point making up a polygon, brush used to draw the line and all sorts. You could even do flashing cells if you wanted.
Hope that helps.

How to retrieve comments from one OfficeTask activity and use them in another OfficeTask activity for Multi level Approval sequential Workflow

I'm designing a sequential site workflow using Visual Studio 2010 for Project Server 2010. In my case, I have following 6 stages in the workflow:
1. InitialProposal Stage
2. Approval Stage1 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members1
3. Rejection Stage
4. Approval Stage2 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members 2
5. Execution Stage
6. Completed Stage
Requirement is workflow should move to Approval stage2 from Approval stage1 if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group1and it should move to Rejection Stage even if a single member rejects it.
Workflow should move from Approval Stage2 to Execution Stage if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group2 and it should move back to Approval Stage1 on rejection by a single member of the group.
I'm using inbuilt PSWApproval content type and OfficeTask activity for creating approval task for the group members at both stages.
On task rejected in Approval stage2, task will be assigned again to Approval Stage1 and I want to show comments given by members of Approver Project Security Group2 to the members of Approver Project Security Group1 with this assigned task
but I'm not able to retrieve comments from officeTask activity.
My question is where exactly these comments are saved? how can we retrieve them and use them in another officetask activity? If this is not possible then what is the possible solution for meeting above mentioned business requirement?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your suggestion.
By comments field I'm assuming OfficeTask.Comments field. Problem is, this field is always null. I tried accessing this field in CheckExitCondition activity as well as in OnTaskCompleted but in both the cases, it was null only(I wrote comments while approving
the task).
I used a code activity within OnTaskCompleted activity and following code for accessing Comments and Description fields:
public string officeComments;
public string officeDescription;
private void TaskCOmplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
CodeActivity Sender = (CodeActivity)sender;
Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask ofctask1 = ((CompositeActivity)Sender.Parent).Parent as Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask;
officeComments = ofctask1.Comments;
officeDescription = ofctask1.Description;
Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here, I'm very new to Workflows. Also, do I need to set any specific property of officeTask for retriving comments?
Thank you

Best avenue to file complaints about bill and have them resolved

I have been a customer since before 2005 and went with Ntelos in November, I called the night I was at Ntelos to ask Verizon what my contract buy outs were and I was given the prices. The representative tried to offer me whatever promotions she could offer (there wasn't many) and I declined service (there she should have took the initiative to ask about disconnecting). Since my bf opted to keep his number his phone disconnected automatically. I was told my Verizon phone would cycle off within 24 - 48 hours by the Ntelos rep. That was not the case so I called verizon to ensure my phone would disconnect and they told it would at the end of the billing cycle (december 20) which makes sense. I understand I would be responsible for the November - December. Anyways, December 20th rolls around and mind you I've called already to ensure it will take place and it doesn't. I phone in and come to find out the person who took my orders didn't complete the disconnection and now I have to wait until January 20th for it to cycle off and I can finally pay my bill! Well get this in my November - December bill they've charged me $51 for Monthly access (I have a work discount) and $49.99 for insurance and smartphone access for 12/21 - 1/20 and won't refund my $51 as they say that I called out on the phone. I turned the phone on and had voicemails that I think I checked around the time period that they are mentioning (1 day) and that data was used (1 day) I had no outbound calls after December 11th my birthday. Because there are no comments in my account (that I specifically asked them to make) my phone should have been disconnected when I had called in the first of December... really!?! The phone should have been turned off regardless and it was one day out of 30 seriously? I mean the phone has been turned off this whole time and literally only checked to make sure Verizon did their job. I CAN'T HELP IT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO YOUR JOB, I PUT THE EFFORT IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO LET YOU KNOW MY PHONE NEEDED TO BE DISCONNECTED YOU SHOULD HAVE KEPT RECORD OF IT!!! What really heats me up is that I was told a supervisor would give me a call back after they got out of a meeting and I have not rec'd a call back yet. VERIZON Reps/Supervisors your customers are the reason why you have get a paycheck, I suggest you start treating them a little better. You can't seriously tell me giving me back my $51 for service I DID NOT USE (except according to you for one day you can't even give me details about?) is really going to hurt your pockets. I've been jerked around by your reps for the last 2 months as one told me my contracts were up in January and I shouldn't' be charged for disconnection fees at all, she credited me those termination fees but they later got rejected (after she said her supervisor approved while I was on hold) and NO ONE HAD THE COURTESY TO NOTIFY ME!
I've worked in customer service before and I'll be first to tell you that your reps are not trained very well and you have horrible ethic! You should not charge your customers for an error that was your fault; especially since it was your reps that I asked specifically to note my account and didn't (this isn't my first rodeo with you all, it should be standard procedure to give your reps time to comment before throwing them into another phone call). I'm not doing this for my health here, that $51 could buy diapers and baby food for my daughter and you are crazy if you think I'm going to let it slip through my fingers to line your pockets. I will keep escalating it until you do something about it and I don't care that you already gave me an inconvenience credit I deserve that and my $51 so don't try to justify it that way! This has been way more than an inconvenience, so don't worry I'll inconvenience you as well!

With my new provider I am only using the chat function to settle anything with them so I can save the conversations I've had with them (not that I've had any issues thus far). It should be standard procedure for them to comment your account while they are on the phone with you before hanging up. I should have been annoying and asked them to read back their comments (hindsight ugh!). I'm sorry that you are having to deal with this as well, just know you are not the only one receiving horrible customer service. I'll share with you what I wrote on their Facebook page. They really should take some accountability for their actions and have better follow up on resolving issues (or train their representatives better). I can't stand having to talk to another person time and time again explaining the same thing i just explained to 3 people before them.
Almost immediately, I received some attention after posting this:
Dear Verizon,
I am appalled, especially after reading your credo, that you are refusing to credit back money that is owed to me because your representatives didn't take the necessary time that they should have to comment (after I specifically asked) in my account after I diligently called in multiple times to ensure that my disconnection took place when it was scheduled to and was told that it would (an ongoing issue since the beginning of December). Come to find out that the representatives I spoke with prior to December 20th didn't do their jobs correctly by not entering the disconnection orders in. "Verizon Credo- a set of principles that describes our culture of integrity, respect, performance excellence and accountability. The Credo is a blueprint that directs us to live up to the highest standards possible when serving our customers, shareowners, communities and each other." Let me school you on something here because it appears that you just put that mission statement up on your website 'cause it sounds good, you certainly do not follow through! Accountability: Noun - the quality or state of being accountable; especially an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions (i.e. public officials lacking accountability). It doesn't matter that you cannot find any proof in my statements it doesn't change the fact that it happened and I am not a liar. I seriously wouldn't exhaust this must effort had I been lying. I'll take this a step further and reference your statement "we focus outward on the customer, not inward. We make it easy for customers to do business with us, by listening, anticipating and responding to their needs." First of all, when I made my initial call to you all asking what my contract buyout prices were and your rep tried to offer me promotions (or lack there of) to keep me as a customer and I declined she should have "anticipated" my need for disconnection. I shouldn't have had to jump through so many hoops to get my service disconnected from you all and pay my final bill. It's not my fault that your representatives weren't trained well enough to correctly put through disconnection orders. Based on my interactions with your customer service I could see where people would disconnect their services regularly!!!!! You are not making it easy for me to severe ties with you and conduct BUSINESS and you are not responding to my NEEDS. I think you forget that I could be a potential customer in the future. If it's one thing I learned from my Communications Degree is that negative feedback will reach more consumers vs. positive feedback of a company and how they handle their business. I have 1,000 plus facebook friends and twitter followers so I'm pretty sure my negative experience could reach quite a few people! You say you have integrity? How is it moral uprightness to charge me for a whole month of service (regardless if the phone was turned on once) for a billing period that shouldn't have existed if your customer service reps did their job correctly? I suggest that you all take a good look at the way you are treating your current customers because we are the reason you get a paycheck! You should make your customers a priority especially if they've been with you for 10 + years regardless if they are disconnecting service or not! How about following through, taking ACCOUNTABILITY and having that supervisor representative call me back from my phone conversation last night like I am a priority (how every customer should be treated) and helping me get the money that I am owed, regardless if the phone had been turned on for a short period (your rep couldn't even tell me what numbers I supposedly called - exactly the phone has been off since December 20th if not before unless turned on to confirm disconnection)! Oh but let me guess did you all forget to put that in my account comments as well? Probably like there is no mention of the formal complaint I filed against some of your representatives that there was supposedly no ticket number for. I thought I was going to regret leaving Verizon for another provider but it turns out that I only wish I would have left sooner and actually gone to a authorized dealer/ Verizon Store to process my disconnection because your customer service line is a joke!

Thanks for your response, I forgot to add that the five 3uk sims we have in use, I have tried all of them none of them are recongnised non of them have pin codes, I even purchased four more sims Tmobile (original carrier) Vodaphone, 3 and giffgaff.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original?

I am transitioning to mac and aperture. Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original? I have 10,000 originals and about 2,000 edited images. The originals are named img_XXXX and anything modified img_XXXX_modified. I would like to be able to import the originals and then import the edited versions and assign them to the original masters. Instead of starting from here and going forward with 12,000 masters, some of which are actual originals and others not. Thanks for the help.

Ah, the vestiges of a destructive workflow! Once you "get" Aperture, (specifically Masters and Versions) you are going to love it, as all of this work goes away - the relationship that you seek to retain is automatic in Aperture; it is simply done differently.
The short answer to your question is EVERY image file that is Imported into Aperture will create a new Master and one Version. Assuming that your images are PSD/TIFF/JPEG that you created in something like Photoshop, then each one that your import will be a new Master. You have many options:
-- Stick the originals in one Project(s) and the edited versions in another Project(s).
-- Stick them all in the same Project(s) and "Stack" them.
But here is the real question: Why are you doing all of this work and what are you trying to accomplish? Seems you are trying to preserve old things that don't need preserving in a non-destructive workflow.
So, what is most valuable to you?
-- The original, out of camera files? (That is, the fear/need to revert.)
-- The edited versions? (That is the hours of work that it took you to get there.)
If the former, import the originals and ignore the edited versions. (Either simply leave them out on disk or import them into their own Projects which you ignore.) Use Aperture to recreate the work you had done previously. This will always give you the ability to revert to the original Master and create as many Versions as you want. This is the best idea if your edits are relatively simple crops and exposure adjustments,
If the latter, then import the edited versions and do as above with the originals. This makes more sense if your work uses lots of layers and, perhaps lots of clone tool type corrections.
Of course, you can do a bit of both.
Others may have better suggestions, but you will find it easy to answer your own question when you understand an image based, as opposed to a file based, non-destructive workflow.
Good luck!
